Kimi, from Moonshot AI, is the outsider here and the most agent focused. Its membership plans are built around agent credits: Plus costs $15 per month on annual billing, or $19 monthly, and adds more credits, agents that work with documents, spreadsheets and slides, Deep Research, website deployment, multi-tasking agents and scheduled tasks that run on their own and push results. Pro at $31 per month on annual billing doubles agent credits and adds a goal mode where agents work until a task is done. Kimi also lists an extra long chat capacity of up to 1M tokens, which helps with very large documents. The drawbacks are maturity and clarity. The pricing page warns that K3.1 Pro requests may queue or fail at launch, and plans described in credits and concurrent tasks are harder to compare than the simple usage tiers of ChatGPT or Claude. It is worth a look for agent-heavy research, less so as a first assistant.
